Taken from its CQC registration.
How long it has been running
Registered in June 2021, it has 5 years on the CQC register.
One overall rating to date: Good, published January 2023.
It has gone 3 years without a new overall rating. CQC schedules inspections by risk, so this is not a bad sign in itself, though leadership may have moved on.
What inspectors found
- People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies in the service supported this practice.
- However, we found examples of inconsistent application of the policies.
- We saw people's mental capacity to make decisions was being considered, but this was not always recorded.
- This was an area the registered manager had already identified for improvement.
Inspected 6 December 2022; report published 12 January 2023; supporting 19 people at the time. In CQC's words, from its published findings (Open Government Licence). Read the full report.
